Interesting palace and beautiful scenery throughout this tour! - This was a wonderful tour led by Rodrigo. He was a very good driver and very kind and very knowledgeable. The drive there was an adventure! He was great!! We enjoyed learning about the history of Peña Palace. We also enjoyed the beautiful (but, cool and very windy!) cliffs and views of Cabo da Roca. Our final stop was Cascais, which was absolutely delightful and beautiful….and much warmer than Cabo da Roca! This was a very good tour to take!

Sintra, Pena Palace, Cabo da Roca & Cascais Day Trip with Anna. - We took the full-day tour from Lisbon to Sintra with Anna and it was amazing! We went to Pena Palace, Regalaira, Cabo da Roca and Cascais. Anna was very knowledgeable and shared fascinating descriptions of each stop. We are history buffs and Anna was a wealth of knowledge about the sites we visited and the history of Portugal. She has a great sense of humor and kept us entertained all day. Anna also found a beautiful ocean-front restaurant for us to have lunch on the way to Cascais. It was a perfect day! We highly recommend taking this private tour with Anna.

11/10 Would 100% Recommend - This was an absolutely amazing experience. Jorge was an amazing guide and I would 11/10 recommend. We got to experience some of the most amazing views I have ever seen and learned so much about the past and present of Lisbon and Portuguese history. His knowledge was amazing. This recommended restaurant was some of the best food. This adventure was definitely one of the highlights of our trip.

Amazing day! - We had an amazing day! Our guide not only worked magic to get us in to Pena palace very late (completely our fault), but knew an incredible amount of history which we couldn't get enough of! We never felt rushed and got to see everything we wanted. We had engaging conversation on our ride and really just enjoyed getting to know our guide- she even took super cool and interesting photos of us throughout! 10/10 and would definitely book again!

Truly a wonderful day in Lisbon! - Everything about the day was perfect. Our guide, Sonia tailored the trip to concentrate on what we were most interested in; we really appreciated the flexibility. Sonia gave us such wonderful historical background to the cities, the castles and the sights along the coast. She recommended a wonderful restaurant that was fabulous and introduced us to the special pastries made famous in Sintra since the mid 1800s-yummy 😊 The tour was the highlight of our visit to the Lisbon area and we would strongly recommend I go Portugal!!
